Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is the electronic report containing remittance data sent from Highmark Medicare Services to the provider or billing service.  ERA is available weekly and is in the 835 ANSI standard EDI format.

The ERA file may be received through software written by the vendor of your choice, created in-house, or by using PC-Print™.   Click here to view a list of vendors approved for Medicare Part A electronic services.

Most software products offer the ability to print the ERA in a format very similar to the hard copy paper remittance.  Software products may also offer the ability to use the ERA for accurate posting to an automated Accounts Receivable system (check with software vendor for availability).
